Why read it?
1 author picked Hallaig and Other Poems as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are several Scottish writers with strong Gaelic connections. They range from the likes of Iain Crichton Smith to Norman MacCaig and thriller writer Alistair Maclean.

From Donald's list on Scottish Highlands and Islands.
